promotion

Getting a promotion can be a tricky thing to navigate, but Jenna Lyons, J.Crew president and creative director, offered up this interesting piece of advice at a Q&A session following her Hearst Master Class last week. "All I can say is, don’t think about that stuff," she told the audience. "Think about what you want to do and what you love. Because you will never be successful if you spend too much time thinking about how you’re going to get ahead." The exec continued: "The way you get ahead is by doing something that you love and committing to yourself to do that, because then you’ll be happy, and you’ll work hard, and you’ll get noticed for that. If you’re trying to get somewhere because it’s important to you to get somewhere, those are often the people I don’t promote." What do you think of her advice? Have you noticed this tactic work for you? While I definitely believe that it's not always about climbing the corporate ladder, it's hard to not think about, right? Let me know what you think in the comments. read more
